Fifteen-year-old Jeremy Duncan is the heart and soul of puberty. A typical teen, Jeremy is shy, self-absorbed, and bored. He loves hanging out and playing the guitar, and is constantly befuddled at his parents' uncoolness. He lives in the shadow of his older brother's perfect 4.0 grade-point-average, star athlete, flawless complexion image. Jeremy's girlfriend, Sara, loves that she can get him to do anything for her. His best friends are Hector and Pierce, whom he's known for-almost-ever. His parents? Uncool baby boomers. (Unless you're a parent. Then they are two suburban professionals trying to do the best they can with a teenager going through that "awkward" phase.)The enormously popular comic strip Zits depicts teenage and parental angst like no other. Teenage Tales is a cornucopia of recent Zits for die-hard fans everywhere.Zits can be seen in more than 1,100 newspapers, which is almost unheard of. Only 18 other comic strips have achieved that extraordinary milestone. Zits has won the National Cartoonists Society's Best Comic Strip of the Year for two years in a row.
